EXTrEME MaKEoVEr
Northwest Edition
By Austin Buckner And trey WilliAms
Campus News Editor and Community News Editor
As Northwest kicks off the frst fall trimester of a brand new decade, renovations, upgrades and
mini-restaurants make their debut on the campus scene. From the high rise parking lot to Hudson and
Perrin Halls, Northwest showcases its sustainability in a time of adversity.
Some of these changes are welcomed, while others struggle to make a positive impact. Whatever
the review, students can expect more changes in the future to complete Auxiliary Services campus
master plan.
Private contributions and grants helped the Universitys goal of continuing to move forward. See
below for the changes to campus.
Smoke-free ordinance takes effect on business owners
By emily demAreA
Chief Reporter
A new smoking ordinance has some
Maryville business owners steaming due to
lack of community input.
According to the ordinance, which passed
with a 3-2 vote, people cannot smoke in or
within 10 feet of any primary public entrances,
open windows or ventilation systems of en-
closed areas starting Oct. 1. So as to insure
that tobacco smoke does not enter those areas,
penalties can result in up to $500. To Palms
Bar and Grill owner, Paul Thompson, this
means he will have to hire people to police the
outdoor areas.
This whole thing is causing me money in
the long run, Thompson said. I think its ri-
diculous to give a $500 fine for someone smok-
ing too close to a doorway.
Teri Harr, chair of Citizens for a Smoke-
Free Nodaway County wants people to know
that they are not asking people not to smoke.
Were just asking them not to smoke in
businesses, to protect the health of the em-
ployees and prevent secondhand smoking.
Smoking is the number one preventable risk
factor.
Harr has been a member of the coalition
for the past 12 years and said with her prior ex-
perience as a nurse, she has always been inter-
ested in health prevention.
Though the ordinance was meant to pro-
tect, some think it hurts more than it helps.
Its not fair to business owners, its not
fair to customers, Thompson said. Its tak-
ing away business owners rights...What other
rights are they going to take away?
